So I've had a rather crap month with my car.
First off apologies if this is in the wrong place. Need to vent whilst the car is finally being put right (I hope)
Had it serviced, which is par for the course.
Over the course of the service a few things where found. Some weren't right, some where.
Front brake pads and front tyres. Already had the pads so I knew them. Tyres I was aware needed changing as they were low.
something I didn't know, snapped spring. So brought some suspension and got my brake pads fitted within days. Changed the drivers side front spring no problem, got to the passenger side and the driveshaft had seized in. I half expected issues with seized brake pins, not the drive shaft
Mad hunt around for one but got one.
A few days ago came out to the car after work to find the windscreen had cracked. Great. Getting that sorted tomorrow.
Decided to try and bond with the car again and give it a clean.
It looked really good afterwards.
came out from work yesterday and it had been used as target practice for birds. It was everywhere.
Majority of it cleaned off fine but the biggest bit (pretty sure it came from something the size of a dog) had ate into the lacquer on my bonnet.
Now going to pay to have it detailed/machine polished to try and improve that bit.
I'm also due to buy a new drivers side fog light as that got smashed by a stone. I've recently had to replace the rain sensor on the windscreen as well. At least that I could do myself.
Some pictures of the car I'm in a love/hate relationship at the moment
and the bonnet
Before
After
Smashed fog and cracked screen
